it was also used for stew but be-
cause of complaints it has been
withdrawn.
Food service buys most of its
goods direct from the distributor,
and charges the residence halls a
seven per cent mark-up to cover
costs. At one time it was eight and
a half per cent but increased effi-
ciency cut costs.
Food accounts for 25.8 cents of
each student dollar. Residence
halls spent 1,262,000 dollars for
food last year.
Abuse Undeserved
It is unlikely food service de-
serves the abuse heaped on it by
student.

addition to preparing menus, they
supervise the entire production of
the meal, order food, plan sched-
ules and time food so it spends a
minimum time in warming pans.
Yet many residence halls dieti-
cians have limited experience.
Turnoveris about eight per year.
Because of the turnover and
other difficulties, morale is often
not high.
Most dieticians are requested to
live in the dormitories for "emer-
gency" purposes. Rationale behind
this is that the University can
save them tax money by offering
them room in lieu of salary.
Not Much Choice
The dieticians who don't want
to live in dormitories have little
choice.
It was customary last year for
dieticians who worked extra time
to add it to their vacation period.
But last year a new regulation
was introduced which said they
must make up days off within 30
days of the extra time they work-
ed, or it would be void.
This made many of the dieticians
uphappy.
According to Miss Kathleen
Hamm, Chief Dietician of Resi-
dence Halls, the University tries

A major complaint in dormitories
is food runs out too early, or it is
not hot enough.
The dorms themselves have lim-

must be transported by a slow

However, the business staff has

According to Schaadt, there might

By PHILIP MUNCK
The invention of the automo-
bile marked the end of the horse
and buggy era.
But a little of that age still lives
in the D. J. Mallory Harness Shop
in Ann Arbor. -
In an old building a grey haired
man still makes harnesses and
saddles for the vanishing number
of work and saddle horses in lower
Michigan.
M al l o r y has witnessed the
change to auto.
"I've seen a lot of things change
but still I kind of like the pld
times better," he reiinisced.
Once harness .making was a
booming business. In 1891, when
Mallory's father started the shop,
there were four r five other har-
rness shops in Ann Arbor. All of
them have gonie out of business.
Tanned leather of 65 years
hanging from .the walls give his
shop a nostalgic odor.
On either side of the door are
hides waiting to be cut up and
sewed together to make saddlery.
The leathers are of different
thicknesses and stiffnesses to
make .various parts of the har-
nesses and saddles.
In the front of the shop and to
one side hang all lengths of buggy-
and bull-whips. "A lot of young
men buy the bull whips as a stunt.
They just try to learn to make
them pop "
Once these whips were used to
drive teams of oxen across the
'country but now there isn't much
use for .them.
Most of the shop's business
comes from making saddles and
accessories for pleasure horses.
"There are a lot more people who
have a riding horse these days."
Mallory also repairs leather goods.
A lot of hours go into producing
a single saddle ' or harness. The
leather must be cut to size and
shaped before it can be sewed
together. Then any tooling must
be carefully done :y hand.
Not many people iearn to work
-leather these days Mallory says.
"There isn t anyone learning to
be craftsmen these days. Fellows
just go into the factory and run
machines .Tsed to 1e that you had
to start from the bottom and
spend seven or eight gears learn-
ing a traf e, but ncw everyone
xva!nts to start at th" top.'
The day of the horse is paste
and will never return. The 'time
is past when the fields were
plowed by a farmer and a team of
horses, never to come again. But
a harness shop remains a living
reminder of an earlier age.
